The Polish Church Troubles Break Out Afresh. Detroit, March 21.—More than a year ago tee members or St. Albertus’ Polish Catholic church were rioting because their priest, Father Kolasinski, had been deposed by Bishop Borge6s. After a fu tile attempt to keep the church open with another priest In charge the building was closetl and has so remained since. At in tervals there have been rumors of its re opening, each such report creating great exoitement among the congregation, which numbered 7,000. Within a few days a report became current that the church would be reopened by Father Dombrowski on March 27. This report aroused the Kolasinski faction and trouble was anticipated. the police attacked. Yesterday a squad of policemen were guarding the church and neighboring con vent when they were assailed by a crowd of Kolasinski’s supporters. Officer Frank Sehratfron was struck in the face with a brick. His assailant was arrested, aud a storm broke forth. Ten or more pistoi shots were fired at the police, who were also assailed with a shower of bricks, clubs and other missiles. In reply the police fired over the heads of the mob,and kept them at bay while the prisoner was carried away and additional police pro tection secured. a regular army. Nearly 3,000 Poles raved and stormed about the officers, but no further violence was attempted. Half a dozen policemen were oadly bait 1 red and bruised, but none were fatally injured. A few Poles were also hurt, but their companions imme diately carried them away so, tnat the re sult of their injuries could not be learned. The convent windows were badly shat tered by flying bricks. HASTINGS’ COURT IK tGEDY. The Homicide Allowed to Walk Away by the Spectators. Chicago, March 21.—AnOmahaspecial giving the particulars ol the killing of Dr. Randall in court at Hastings Satur day says that his murderer, young Hart, with the smoking pistol in his hand, coolly walked out of the court room, no one attempting, not even the sheriil, whom he passed oti the stairway, to ar rest him. At the time young Hart was unknown to the crowd. Mrs. Randall, who the evidence showed had assisted her husband to ruin Elia Hart, was in jeopardy of her life. SAVED FROM LYNCHING. Threats of lynching were Ireely made immediately after the shooting, and the probability is that if her husband bad not been sbot both would have been mobbed and very likely lynched. She was taken to her boarding house, and fully 500 men followed with the determination of com mitting violence. A strong guard, how ever, protected the woman, who put on a suit of her husband’s clothes and, with an escort, made her es cape, She was taken to Grand island in a carriage with a guard of twenty-five men. The Hastings’ peo ple threaten to mob her when she is brought back for trial. No effort will be made to prosecute young Hart for killing Dr. Randall. Mr. Hart, the lather of the girl, was in the court room when the shooting was done, and immediately after Randall fell he rushed up and kicked the oorpse and satisfied himselt that the man was dead. A JURY INTIMIDATOU. A Representative of English Hold ers of Virginia Bonds in Jail. Richmond, Va., March 21—William L. Royall, counsel for the English council of foreign bondholders and representing their affairs in connection with Virginia’s debt, was to-day convicted in the Hustings Court of intimidating the grand jury of that court aud fined $l5O. This case is the result ol an information filed last month against Royall by the common wealth’s attorney, who charged that at the January term of the court, because tbe grand jury presented indictments against Royall for barratry, lie (Royall) insti tuted suits against individual members of the grand jury for SIU,OOO damages each, claimed because of their actions in bringing indictments. Furthermore, Royall was charged with intimating through the press and otherwise that he would sue every grand juror who in the future should iudict him or his clients for acts done in alleged violation of the law under whicn he had already been indicted, and that in pursuance of that threat he ( Royall) had attempted to intimidate and impede the grand jury ap pointed for the February term, so that they had declined to bring in an indict meut against him for fear of suits for damage*. Royall refuses to pay the hne. Royall was taken to jail tfiis evening, and will remain there to-night. To morrow he will apply to Judge Bond, ot tbe United States Circuit Court, for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Bond arrived in tbe oity to-night. DAKOTA’S FLOOD. Tlio River Still Rising at Bismarck at Last Accounts. St. I’aul, Minn., March 21.—A Bis marck special says: “The river is still rising an inch an hour, having already passed tbe high-water mark of the memo rablo flood of 1881. All the lowlands are now inundated. The only houses flooded on tbe Bismarck side are a few squatters shacks. From the bluffs one can see huge cakes of Ice up near tne streets in Man date The only method of communication between tbe towns is via Cheyenne and Ogden. The Boston syndicate property. Includ ing a flouring mill and some titty resi dences. elevator, sbalts and everything south of the track i submerged. The Upper Heartriver has not yet broken loose. Tne ice began running again this evening. The indications are that tne Fort Butord rise is beginning to be felt. All the boats are still safe, as is Uie Northern Pacific warehouse, the river being so wide that tue ice no longer crowds bom. Telegrams from the western division of tbe Northern Pacific railroad say that trains are runulng through to Mandatt from Portland, no othnr bridges being out. Several tons of Western mail have been brought back from Bismarck to bo sent around via the Union Pacillo. Roslindalc’s New Bridge.

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1887. COERCION TO BE FOUGHT ALL THE FRIENDS OF ERIN TO STAND HEART TO HEART. GldctAtone’s Voice to be Heard During the Obstruction Speech Dluklng—Mr. Morley Introduces a Resolution Around Which All Can Rally Willi Enthusiasm The Fight to be Pro tracted. London, March 21.—John Bright, In a letter with reference to home rule, says that a majority of tho people in Ireland would vote that their country ho made a State of the American Union if their present loaders instructed them to do so, but that that would be no reason why the Kingdom should consent. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ire land, intimated in the House of Commons this evening that the government would to-morrow introduce a bill making pro vision for tbe prevention and punishmout of crime iu Ireland. the new bill. TV. H. Smith gave notice that the gov ernment would move that the new Irish crimes bill have precedence over all orders or the day. John Morley at onoe gave notice that he would move an amendment to the gov ernment’s motion, to the effect that “the House decline to set aside business in lavor or a measure increasing the strin gency of the law in Ireland whilst no etlective security is taken against abuse oi the law by the exaction of excessive rents.’’ Mr. Alorley’s notice was received with loud cheers by the Irish members. A BTUBBORN FIGHT. Mr. Smith's motion for urgency for the coercion bill will be opposed to the utter most by the combined strength of the Gladstonians and Parnellites. Mr. Smith promises an eariv statement of the land proposals, but tbe opposition are deter mined not to permit the introduction ot a coercion bill until the land question has been dealt with. I’be Ministerialists ad mit their inability to enforce the new closure rule without a protracted debate extending beyond Easter. Tue Glad stouiaus greeted with derisive laughter Mr. Smith’s statement that he hoped to reach the second reading of the bill on Monday. BRITISH HRRWDNESS. The Irish Conservatives will raise a question wnv Father Keller is allowed i-pecial privileges in Kiimainham jail. Father Keller provides his own tood and has a servant, and his trlends have tree access to him. Dr. Kenney, medical officer of the Natioual League, has applied to be allowed to attend Father Keller and to supply him with champagne if his health requires it. The Conservatives will insist that the prisoner be treated according to the rules as a first-class misdemeanant. • TARNELLITES PLEASED. The Parnellites are gratified at Mr. Morley’s amendment and heartily ap prove it. The amendment was drafted last week by Messrs. Morley, Harcourt and Gladstone, with a view of embarrass ing the Radical-Unionists, some of whom the Conservatives admit may possibly abstain from voting. Lord Hartington is aware of the government’s plans and has approved them. He will doubtless carry the bulk of his lollowers with him. Tue debate on Mr. Morley’s amendment will last several nights, and it is certain that Mr. Glad stone will speak, it is the present inten tion of the Paruellites and a large section of the Gladstonians to oppose the coer cion bill at every stage, even to force a division on a iormal motion for permis sion to introduce bills. All tne parties have issued urgent whips. It is reported that the new crimes bill instead of providing for the appointment of a special jury to consist of members not likely to be intimidated, as at first drafted, now proposes to give prisoners charged with the special offenses option of jury trial at Newgate or by a commission ot judges iu Ireland. Mr. Chamberlain dined with Mr. Ral four to-night, and entered into a friendly discussion ot the bill. FATHER KELLER’S PRISON LIFE. Dublin, March 21.—Father Kel ler is allowed to celebrate mass daily in his cell. He is also al lowed to receive visitors for half an hour and to read newspapers sent to him. Various donors have sent him articles with which to furnish his cell. Father Keller has telegraphed to his triends at Yougbal that ho is in excellent health and spirits. Father Ryan, of the Herhertstown, branch of the league, has been summoned to give evidence in a case similar to that In which Father Keller was summoned. Father Ryan announces that he is deter mined to go to prison rather than give evidence. SYMPATHY FROM AMERICA. New York, March 21.— There w 6 a large meeting at Cooper Union to-night to protest against the proposed coercive measure under tne auspices of the muni cipal counciloft.be Irish National League. Among those present were ltcv. William Lloyd, Uen. O’Bierne, Leon Abbett, of New Jersey, Rev. T. Connelly. Charles A. Dana. Tbe latter acted as chairman of tbe meeting. Having been introduced as such be remarked that It might be asked wbat Americans had to do with tho eon duot of the English government. He maintained the right to be unquestion able. He spoke on behalf of broad justice and those right* which belong to all men. They were about to violate in England now the first principles of liberty by passing a coercion bill, and. lfisii-Ainert cans wished to protest againri- cansdidso because lrityApfcHlMfe a groat part of tbe oitizenlHTrthe Uoited State*. Americans had the right because they contributed tbe chief part ol the money that enabled that band of patriots led by Parnell to continue the fight for freedom. | Applause.] Where is the treasury of the party of liberty if not in the hearts of tne irishmen in tbe United States? There was no question a* to the right Of Ameri cans to protest against coercion. Tne resolutions recite that tbe English gov ernment Is preparing to introduoe a so called crimes bill, whose provisions are Intended to suppress constitutional liber tv in Ireland for political reasons and to abolish the freedom of tbe press. They say that the only offset can be tbe enkind ling of raoe hatred, making more difficult a settlement ol tbe Irish question and teudlng to produoe social disorder in Ireland. The citizens of New York in mass meeting assem bled.therefore earnestly protested against tho contemplated measure* a* suicidal to the best interests of England and Ire land, and a violation of recognized prin ciples of Justice. Tho resolutions quoie “England’s greatest statesman’’ in say ing that lorce Is no remedy, and declaring tnat home rule in the establishment of a parliament to deal directly with local questions, Is the only basis of settleim-nt on Irish questions. The resolutions ten der sympathy and promise support to Messrs. Gladstone and l’arnell, aud en couruge them to oppose coercion. The resolutions are to be sent to the two leaders and also the Tory leader, Lord Salisbury. William M. Evarts regrettod his ab sence from the city and tendered hearty sympathy in tho demonstration “against governmental coercion ot Irish tenants to the payment ot routs.’’ Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, wrote: “The struggle for borne rule in which the Irish people are now engaged lias always commanded my earnest sympathy. May they soon witness the triumph of liberty —Not liberty lacerated by English swords, but freedom that can he erected upon an altar and worshiped by Irishmen every where.” Tue following cablegram was sent to Mr. Gladstone: Citizens of New York in mass moetim: as sembled, protesting against coercion, heartily imlorseyour noble policy and wish you God speed in your undertaking. Charles A. Dana. Speeohes wore made by several gentle, men, including the following: l)r. Lloyd, Hon. Leon Abbett, ex-Judge Davis and Father Dougherty. Great enthusiasm was manifested. LETTERS OF REGRET. Among the letters of regret wore the following: Lieut. Gov. Jones wrote that it would afford him great pleasure, If present, to publicly join in the sponta neous protest lrom the heart of American citizens toward Ireland iu her struggle for home rule. Gen. Butler wrote that he was confined to bis house by sickness. Judge Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court, wrote that he was in hearty sympathy with tbe objeetsof the meeting. Samuel J. Randall wrote from Wash ington urging justice to lrelaud as the only lasting solution to her troubles and expressing his deep interest in the ques tion. He said it was strange that in the nineteenth century the English Tories should persist in a policy of injustice and coercion, condemned by history with singular unanimity as a crime against the human race and a blot ol disgrace on the fair name of tho English govern ment, Sooner or later justice must be done. Mr. Randall said that Mr. Gladstone had no superior as a states man. The fact that at the close of a long and brilliant career he leu the movement in favor of home rule for Ireland and in sisted with all his brilliant intellectual powers for justice to her, was security tor Great Britain in tbe future, and ttie best evidence that the 1 risb question was lifted out of the arena ot mere local and tem porary contentious and become an in evitable necessity of pence and prosperity to the English speaking races. '“lre land,” he concluded, “ must have home rule and justice must be done to her people, and it is sheer madness to refuse to grant what Is so clearly right.” FREEMEN OF ONE HEART. Gov. B. T. Biggs, of Delaware, wrote: “Freemen everywhere sympathize with the oppressed, and the time will come when coercion bills will be wiped out, and the freedom of Ireland and home rule will prevail.” Rev. L. C. Garland, Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, wrote: “Tbe Irish cause has my profound sympathy.” Samuel 8. Cox wrote lrom Washing ton. He asserted that the great body of English people were as one with Soot land, Ireland and Wales in their hatred of the measures of esjiionage, fraud and force. No nation was ever so wretchedly and outrageously governed as Ireland has been by absenteeism aud tho aristocracy oi England. RoscoeConkling wrote: “In heart and judment 1 am iu sympathy with the peo ple of Ireland, and wholly against any and every scheme to trample on her rights. It will be annoying if England, the land of the magna charta, the landot trial by jury and due process ot law,tbe land ol eightcenturies of Parliament, the land ofWestminsterHall,shall now,at this stage of the world, turn around and march back towards barbarism. Fora government to uphold itself by force against those who would overthrow It Is one thing. This is the right of self de fense; a right to be, out it is a widely different thine to make laws oppressive and repugnant to a great majority of those affected by them and theu to violate the principles of the government itself in order to enforce such laws. Such a proceeding is not a resort to any other right. It is might— brutal might. It cannot be defended by the extremity of occasion, still less by possession of power great enough to promise impunity to act. Should tbe events you apprehend come to pass, Great Britain may raise a home question which mankind may make a question ol its own —so deep and universal is the sentiment of liberty. That the wisdom of English men and Scotchmen and Irishman may avert all the evils you fear is my ardout hope aud wish.” DRIVEN MAD BY GAMBLING. An Englishman Creates n Stir in Y. M. C. A. Rooms. Chicago, March 21.—Maxwell Ernest Virgo, a young Englishman 32 years of age, caused an exciting scene in the office of A. T. Hemingway, Secretary ol the Young Men’s Christian Association, yes terday afternoon.

Secretary Hemingway endeavored to take the bottle from Virgo wnen tbo lat ter endeavored to push Mr. Heming way through a window. He would have eucceeded if help had not arrived prompt ly. The window was broken out. The bottle of acid was knocked from Virgo’s hand before be could swallow its con tents, although be got some of it in his mouttt and throat und is badly burned about tbo head und face. It took two stalwart policemen and two members of the association to get Virgo into an am bulance and to a hospital. The physi cians there sav Virgo Is In a bad way but may recover. He is a member of a well to-do English family. Frost in the Far south. New Orleans, Marob 21.
